At the BBC we always stored tapes (1/4" full-track mono or two-track
stereo) end out, so the pre-echo became a post-echo and thus less
obtrusive. Of course they then had to be re-wound before playback
This occasionally led to problems, particularly with the Arabic service,
which had tapes copied from a classic set of transcription records of
the Koran.  Turns out it's quite difficult to tell when these are played
backwards, and some poor studio operator would occasionally get a call
from a listener and have to log the mistake.
